When Robert Beddell enlisted in 1901 in the 6th QIB and his details were published with the rank and file in The Queenslander, 13 Apr 1901, he noted his N.O.K. as Mrs Beddell, San Francisco, California, USA.
In a letter to the editor in The Northern Miner, 24 Jun 1901, an update was given on soldiers serving with the 6th QIB who were from Charters Towers which included R. Beddell. It appears he was living at or near Charters Towers when he enlisted in 1901.
